24 And Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people and set them round about the tabernacle.
25 And the Lord came down in a cloud and spoke unto him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him and gave it unto the seventy elders; and it came to pass that, when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
26 But there remained two of the men in the camp: the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them; and they were of those who were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle; and they prophesied in the camp.
27 And there ran a young man and told Moses, and said, “Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.”
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, “My lord Moses, forbid them!”
29 And Moses said unto him, “Enviest thou for my sake? Would God that all the Lord’S people were prophets, and that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!”
30 And Moses got him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31 And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day’s journey on this side, and as it were a day’s journey on the other side round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
32 And the people stood up all that day and all that night and all the next day, and they gathered the quails. He that gathered least gathered ten homers, and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague.
34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah [that is, The graves of lust], because there they buried the people who lusted.
35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth, and abode at Hazeroth.
12 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married, for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
2 And they said, “Hath the Lord indeed spoken only by Moses? Hath He not spoken also by us?” And the Lord heard it.
3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men who were upon the face of the earth.)
4 And the Lord spoke suddenly unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto Miriam: “Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation.” And the three came out.
5 And the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.
6 And He said, “Hear now My words: If there be a prophet among you, I, the Lord, will make Myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all Mine house.
8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?”
9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and He departed.
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle. And behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow; and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.
11 And Aaron said unto Moses, “Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly and wherein we have sinned.
12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.”
13 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, “Heal her now, O God, I beseech Thee.”
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.”
15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days, and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth and pitched camp in the Wilderness of Paran.
13 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.”
3 And Moses by the commandment of the Lord sent them from the Wilderness of Paran. All those men were heads of the children of Israel.
4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;
5 of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;
6 of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
7 of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;
8 of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun;
9 of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;
10 of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;
11 of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;
12 of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;
13 of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;
14 of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;
15 of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua.
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, “Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain.
18 And see the land, what it is, and the people who dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
19 and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad, and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents or in strongholds;
20 and what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.
21 So they went up and searched the land from the Wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
22 And they ascended by the south and came unto Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates and of the figs.
24 The place was called the Brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
26 And they went and came to Moses and to Aaron and to all the congregation of the children of Israel unto the Wilderness of Paran to Kadesh, and brought back word unto them and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 And they told him, and said, “We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Nevertheless the people are strong who dwell in the land, and the cities are walled and very great; and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and by the coast of the Jordan.”
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and possess it, for we are well able to overcome it.”
31 But the men who went up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.”
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof, and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, who come of the giants. And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”
22 And as they ate, Jesus took bread, and blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”
23 And He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank of it.
24 And He said unto them, “This is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the Kingdom of God.”
26 And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives.
27 And Jesus said unto them, “All ye shall be offended because of Me this night, for it is written: ‘I will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.’
28 But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.”
29 But Peter said unto Him, “Although all shall be offended, yet will I not.”
30 And Jesus said unto him, “Verily I say unto thee that this day, even in this night, before the cock crows twice, thou shalt deny Me thrice.”
31 But Peter spoke the more vehemently, “If I should die with Thee, I will not deny Thee in any way.” Likewise also said they all.
32 And they came to a place which is named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit ye here while I shall pray.”
33 And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed and very heavy of heart.
34 And He said unto them, “My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death; tarry ye here, and watch.”
35 And He went forward a little, and fell on the ground and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
36 And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible unto Thee. Take away this cup from Me; nevertheless not what I will, but what Thou wilt.”
37 And He came back and found them sleeping, and said unto Peter, “Simon, sleepest thou? Couldest thou not watch one hour?
38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.”
39 And again He went away and prayed and spoke the same words.
40 And when He returned He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; neither knew they what to answer Him.
41 And He came the third time and said unto them, “Sleep on now and take your rest. It is enough: the hour is come; behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Rise up; let us go. Lo, he that betrayeth Me is at hand.”
43 And immediately, while He yet spoke came Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44 And he that betrayed Him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I shall kiss, that same is he. Take him and lead him away safely.”
45 And as soon as he had come, he went straightway to Him and said, “Master, Master!” and kissed Him.
46 And they laid their hands on Him and took Him.
47 And one of those who stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, “Have ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take Me?
49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took Me not. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”
50 And they all forsook Him and fled.
51 And there followed Him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him.
52 And he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.
52 Why boastest thou in thine own mischief, O mighty man? The goodness of God endureth continually.
2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 Thou lovest evil more than good, and lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; He shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah
6 The righteous also shall see this and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7 “Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his own wickedness.”
8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
9 I will praise Thee for ever, because Thou hast done it, and I will wait on Thy name, for it is good before Thy saints.
11 A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.
2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame, but with the lowly is wisdom.
3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
